As far as clutches go, a Spec Stage 3+ Full Face is what I would recommend. Although the consistancy of aftermarket clutches leaves alot to be desired, we have had good luck with the stage 3+ full face clutches as opposed to a few other brands. With your setup w/ out nitrous I would even look into an LS7 clutch if you want to retain stock like driving mannerisms. If you are for sure going to be using nitrous then I would use nothing other than a stage 3+ full face.

Jayson has been tuning LT1 and LSX vehicles for over a decade, I assure you there is no problem in the tune.

If you want a good clutch, the exo skel is great, if you want to lose power go with the LS7. I have a post on my gains just from ditching the LS7. If you go that route I would NOT get the steel flywheel, period.

Did you guys log injector duty cycle? Do not spend another dime chasing this problem till you have logged inj duty cycle. I can gaurantee that the stock pump is hitting a wall right now. I did it the hard way, I am telling you the easy way. I make over 500 rwhp thru the stock, descreened, unported MAF and 1 3/4 headers, w/ full belts , w/o an underdrive pulley, or an electric water pump NA.

Those are things you know need to be fixed or upgraded. Things like stock MAF and the headers you have are not the bottlenecks that some people say they are.

My car is the A4 mike mentioned that Picked up so much on the Headers. The Numbers are below My invoice says I'm running 30 Lb injectors. All I know is when ben sent me an invoice for the Quote it said 30 Lb inj. so I called and told him I didn't want to pay to just get the 30 Lber's. He told me it was a Misprent and they would be 36Lb inj. Since I plan to put a small shot on the car I hope this is true. It must be since I hve a good AFR and 512RWHP with a small cam. Fix the clutch your setup should put you at 500 or a little better. Either way it should be a hell of a fun ride..
